Apple Pie Breakfast Cookies
These healthy apple pie breakfast cookies use oats, maple syrup and delicious fall spices to create an easy quick breakfast or snack!
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all purpose or whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed optional
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced apple
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, salt, baking powder, and flaxseed (if using). Whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the apple chunks.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them out to your desired thickness with a spoon or spatula as they will not spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- For the best results I flatten the dough out a little bit with the back of your spoon or a spatula when on the pan as they will not spread while baking.
- Any type of apple will work in this recipe.
- Feel free to add raisins or chopped nuts to your cookies for an extra boost of flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.
- These can be frozen for up to 3 months.
